Kraft Stove Top Stuffing for Turkey
Now may be the time to confess all and share a shameful secret with the rest of you -- when I roast a turkey, I cheat a little and use Kraft's Stove Top Stuffing for Turkey. (Three packages is perfect for a 12 to 14 pound bird, with a little left over to bake in a separate pan.) Martha Stewart would probably cringe at the thought of this but that's okay because Martha Stewart I am not. Until yesterday, it never occurred to me that there could be anything of value (aside from sheer convenience and ease of preparation) in Kraft's famous (or infamous, depending on your outlook) product. Then...
review »Vanilla Coke Zero
I am not a fan of regular Coke but do enjoy Cherry Coke and Vanilla Coke. I tried Vanilla Coke Zero a few weeks ago. I absolutely love it! Normal Coke Zero has a strange after taste; the Vanilla seems to mask the fake sweetener taste. This is the first soft drink I can drink constantly. The only problem is its availbility. I looked at Kroger, Walgreens, Target, CVS, Rite-Aid and Walmart before I FINALLY found it at a Publix. Aparently this is not a popular Coca-Cola product. I finally found a Coca-Cola product that does have the extreme acidic taste. Vanilla Coke Zero is extremely smooth tasting...

Orville Redenbacher - Natural Gourmet Popping Corn
I always look forward to the evening when I allow myself a delicious, guiltless treat in Orville Redenbacher's Natural Light Popcorn. There is fifty percent less fat but the flavor is great. Of course I'm realistic and can not compare it to the regular higher fat popcorn. But in comparing it to other name brand and generic low fat popcorn, you can't beat it. The fact that it is offered in a couple of flavors - regular and butter, allows me to change it up and still have a healthy treat. The packages pop up very well with very few kernals left unpopped. You have to get a feel for how long it should...

International Delight Coffeehouse Inspirations White Chocolate Mocha
i really love white chocolate mocha coffee drinks (starbuck's)...so i bought this with the expectation of having something CLOSE at home. i didn't expect it to taste exactly like it...but at least have the same FLAVOR. BIG disappointment. i actually poured the cup of coffee down the drain...i couldn't drink it. it was not that it didn't taste like starbuck's...it didn't taste like anything good--it had a chemically aftertaste and i couldn't pick out any chocolate flavor at all. just awful.
Kashi Go Lean Crunch Cereal
A couple months ago when Total cereal started to publically chastize Kashi Go lean specifically, Kashi gave free samples to anyone who wanted them. I think the offer is over by now. The Kashi company is based on making food fast and healthy which goes against America today. I expected this crereal to taste like cardboard because it looks health ,like grapenuts. Anyway, I was very surprised because rthis healthy cereal full of vitamins and minerals taste reallt really tasty. I am giving it a rave review from a cereal connisieur. After tasting the cereal I wonder what Total was taking about,even...
review »Trader Joe's Cafe Pajaro Whole Bean Coffee
I'm a big fan of organic and fair-trade products, but the main reason that I bought Trader Joe's Cafe Pajaro Whole Bean Coffee was because it was nicely priced and had a cute picture of a bird on the container. I'm not kidding.
According to the Cafe Pajaro container, this is a whole bean arabica coffee that is full-bodied and has an extra-dark roast. It also consists of organic coffee beans that have been fairly-traded, which means that the growers are given a fair price for their product and don't have to sell at cut-throat prices. I paid about $7 per 13 ounce can of Trader Joe's Cafe Pajaro...
review »Sister Schubert Dinner Yeast Rolls
One of my favorite parts of any meal is the bread...I don't care whether it's a plain slice of white bread or a fancy homemade roll. I just love bread. But it takes so much time to make it from scratch that I can't be bothered! Once we found Sister Schubert's Dinner Yeast Rolls, I no longer felt like I needed to bake fresh rolls to keep on hand, which takes SO much work out of holiday and every-day meal preparation.
Sister Schubert Dinner Yeast Rolls come in a plastic re-sealable bag, so you can bake as many rolls as you need without thawing the rest out. Preparation is as simple as removing...
review »Canada Dry - Cranberry Ginger Ale
For a little something different to drink for our Thanksgiving meal, I purchased a 2-liter bottle of Canada Dry Cranberry Ginger Ale, a brightly-colored cranberry version of the traditional ginger ale. Also made with real ginger, just like the original "champagne of ginger ales," this soda packs an extra kick of tart cranberry flavor that complements the ginger flavor nicely. I paid $1.49 for the bottle, which is only available during the winter season, so if you decide you love it, stock up for the rest of the year.
If you compare the flavor combination to Cherry 7-Up, this is similar...the...

Snapple - Diet Snapple Singles To Go
My sister had some Diet Snapple Singles On The Go drink packets in her house and when I saw them, I knew that I just had to try one. This is a very good diet drink ever made by Snapple. It is also a low calorie drink. One serving would be half the packet for 5 calories, but I use the full packet for my bottled water, which is 10 calories. This is so much better than drinking Kool-Aid, soda, and any other sugar-sweetened beverage. Plus, you can burn 10 calories very easily. There are a lot of plusses for this drink. The first plus is that it tastes really good and it tastes like you are drinking...

Edy's edy's Peanut Butter cup Ice cream
I love Ice Cream, but not plain ice creams like Chocolate or Vanilla. I love my ice cream to have nuts, or chunks of things and I am not fond of ice creams that are just too chocolatey. While Edy's Peanut Butter Cup is chocolatey, it has just the right amount of chocolate that is does not over power the great taste of the peanut butter cup chunks.
The Flavor of Edy's Peanut butter cup Ice cream is creamy and rich, not too heavy the peanut butter cups are nice size pieces without being to large or too small. If the pieces were too small they would add a sandy texture, but being just the right size...

Very yummy drink. Definitely doesnt take the place of a multivitamin, but definitely good.
Eight O'Clock Regular roast
My husband and I thoroughly enjoy our time in the morning having coffee and talking, now that we are both retired this time has become very enjoyable and we look forward to it, so the coffee we choose is important to us, we had tried some of the more expensive brands like Starbucks and but the beans seemed to be over roasted and the coffee was FAR to strong and bitter. I ordered specialty coffees like Boca Java and Gevalia but the cost was outrageous considering that we did not find it any better than some of the less costly brands.
We ran across a review of coffees in Consumer reports and...
